FCC Statement on Class B

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful in­terference when the equipment is operated in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in­stallation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.

Notice:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to oper­ate the equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to comply with the
emission limits.

System Memory

The SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) sockets are divided into two
banks on the system board, Bank 0 and Bank 1. Each bank consists of
2 SIMM sockets. Refer to page 6 for the locations of the SIMM sockets.

You will need either 2 or 4 pieces of SIM modules, depending on the
amount of memory you intend to install. The system board will not work
if you install 1 or 3 pieces. Make sure you insert the same type of
SIMMs in one bank. You can install SIMMs in either of the banks, Bank
0 or Bank 1, but you must populate one bank first before going to the
next bank.

The G586IPV/E system board can support 8MB to 128MB of memory
using 1MBx32, 2MBx32, 4MBx32, or 8MBx32 72-pin SIMMs. The table
below shows the supported SIM modules and their corresponding
memory sizes.

Installing a SIM Module

A SIM module simply snaps into a socket on the system board. Pin 1 of
the SIM module must correspond with Pin 1 of the socket.

1. Position the SIMM above the socket with the “notch” in the module
aligned with the “key” on the socket.

2. Seat the module at a 45° angle into the bank. Make sure it is com­pletely seated. Tilt the module upright until it locks in place in the
socket.

Cache Memory

The G586IPV/E system board can support 256KB or 512KB pipeline
burst, direct map write-back cache SRAM installed at locations U22 and
U23 of the system board. Refer to page 6 for the locations of the
SRAMs.

CPU Installation

The G586IPV/E allows for easy installation of CPUs. Make sure all
jumpers are set correctly before applying power or you may damage the
CPU or system board. Please see the jumper settings on the following
pages. Use the needle-nosed pliers to move the jumpers if necessary.

Installing Upgrade CPUs

The G586IPV/E is equipped with a 321-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
socket at location U25 of the system board. Refer to page 6 for the
location of the ZIF socket. This socket is designed for easy removal of
an old CPU and easy insertion of an upgrade CPU. The ZIF socket
allows you to carefully place the new CPU into its position. If you need
to apply excessive force to insert the CPU, you are not installing the
CPU correctly.

Warning:

Open the socket only if you are actually installing a CPU. The warranty
on the original CPU will be voided if the S/N seal is broken. Before
proceeding with the upgrade, take note of the following. The micropro­cessor and heatsink may be hot if the system has been running. To
avoid the possibility of a burn, power the system off and let the proces­sor and heatsink cool for 20 minutes.

The 321-pin ZIF socket consists of five rows of pin holes on each side.
To prevent improper CPU installation, the ZIF socket has a Plug/Keying
mechanism. Several holes in the socket are plugged so that the CPU
will go in only one way.

Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) Socket

To install an upgrade CPU, do the following:

1. To raise the handle, push it down, slightly pull it out to the side,
then raise it as far as it will go. It may be necessary to initially apply
a small amount of sideways force to free the handle from its retain­ing “tab”. Once clear of the “tab”, the handle will open relatively
easily. The top plate will slide back.

13

Lifting the Handle

2. Once the lever is completely up, remove the old CPU carefully by
lifting it straight out of the socket. You are now ready to insert the
new CPU.

3. Position the CPU above the ZIF socket. Make sure pin 1 of the
CPU is aligned with pin 1 of the socket. Lower the chip until the
pins are inserted properly in their corresponding holes. Remember
that very little force is needed to install the CPU. If the CPU is not
easily inserted, verify whether or not pin 1 of the CPU is aligned
with pin 1 of the socket. Applying too much pressure can damage
the CPU or the socket.

14

Positioning the CPU Above the ZIF Socket

4. Push the handle down until the handle locks into place. The top
plate will slide forward. You will feel some resistance as the pres­sure starts to secure the CPU in the socket. This is normal and will
not damage the CPU. However, if the handle is not completely
closed, damage to the CPU and/or system board may result.

Installing A Fan/Heatsink for Cyrix CPUs

If you are using a Cyrix CPU, you must choose a fan/heatsink which is
made for Cyrix processors. Position the fan/heatsink on the CPU such
that the air from the side of the fan/heatsink will flow across the heat
regulator on the system board. See the figure below.
